Absolutely brutal

Elon tried to bribe voters with $1 million checks and he STILL lost by a huge margin. People utterly despise him.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

@karaswisher.bsky.social: "Every accusation is a confession with these people... Elon is exactly what they claim to have hated with George Soros. But he's explicit and right in front of you buying elections."

It’s getting to be a recurring theme: woman sounds the warning alarm, woman gets ignored, people get shocked that things the woman warned about actually happen, woman says told you so…ad infinitum #DemVoice1

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

Democrats on the various Senate Committees who will be hosting the members of the Houthi PC Group Chat had better...and I mean this respectfully...FUCKING INCINERATE THEM. Save the bullshit. Burn it down. USE THE WORDS: illegal. treason. leak. reckless. dangerous. compromised. DEMAND THEIR PHONES.

Same thing he said when all the stories broke about his affairs, and his drinking on the job, and the sex assault case, and his behavior at strip clubs, and the financial mismanagement of his charities. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Trump is ordering the DOJ to go after me & other lawyers because he’s losing! Now is not the time for capitulation—& most of us are standing up We’ll keep fighting & we’ll keep WINNING as I’ll discuss tonight @8pm ET w/ Anderson Cooper @cnn.com

Today in Politics, Bulletin 98. 3/24/25. Everything you need to know about a day in politics where our incompetent SecDef disclosed classified info to a reporter, Trump supporters are attacking Tesla protesters, & all the other mania that happened. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in Berkeley for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. Fuze claimed they were paid protesters and he went there to show his support for Musk and DOGE.

I hate to break this news to Schumer, but if Repub Senators won’t strongly condemn & investigate such a blatant breach of national security at the highest levels during the first military action taken by the Trump Admin, they aren’t going to rebel when they defy court orders.

“President Trump’s goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his administration in court,” Mr. Elias said. “There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf.”

The world is in chaos. Veterans are being left without healthcare. Judges are being threatened and harassed. Kids with special needs are about to be left out in the cold. People are about to starve because food banks' deliveries are being eliminated. Donald Trump is golfing.

Democrats, here’s your campaign ad for EVERY campaign in 2026 & 2028.👇

And the guy who sponsored the bill was arrested this week for soliciting a 16 year old girl for sex. Except when he went to meet her it was a cop. No biggie though, Musk amplifies even worse people on a regular basis.

Trump has surrounded himself with billionaire oligarchs. Peter #TrumpLite Dutton is going the same way. #DontRiskDutton #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

And if you’re an associate, announce tomorrow your plans to leave. There are so many better places to work, in the City and elsewhere. You’ll be glad that you did. And all you headhunters out there, get on those phones first thing!

In a world of Paul Weiss and Donald Trump, be a Marc Elias.

Tucker Carlson will be live streaming from the US at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre. That’s where Ralph Babet will be instead of being in Canberra listening to the treasures speech. Same Trump loving scum who wants to slash government services while doing fuck all on taxpayers salary!

This moment in our country's history is depressing, but it's also illuminating. We're finding out, in real time, whom among those in power will hedge their bets, trade complicity for personal preservation, and retreat into cowardice in the hopes they'll be spared. And we will remember their names.

I just watched a story about a teacher in Idaho fighting back after being forced to take down a sign that said, "Everyone is Welcome Here." This kind of stuff is beyond STUPID. If someone is offended by a "Everyone is Welcome Here" sign, they have psychological issues that need to be dealt with.

Donald Trump preys off people feeling hopeless and being too scared to fight. I won't let Trump take away my hope or make me too afraid to stand tall and fight. I continue to believe that if we fight for democracy we will win.

The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed. The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that. So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Canada is a country of the rule of law. Canada is a country of democracy. Canada will never kiss that gangster’s ring.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

"I'm sick of politicians…who are looking for votes and see my child as someone that they can attack" Qld govt's attack on gender-affirming care for young people is right out of Trump's transphobia playbook. You can bet Dutton will follow. #TransRightsAreHumanRights www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Please follow me at electroboyusa.bsky.social if you feel like sending this message to him. Let's get the reposts and likes as high as possible and I promise to send this to the White House!

Boycott harder. Leave him with nothing but the scorn he deserves.

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse. Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

The Elbows Up Charlie Angus Resistance Tour is going on the road. Turn it up loud. #elbowsup

We’re seeing no media about this - but the push back against rising authoritarianism is happening. We’re part of that push back in our upcoming election - where it has to be #DontRiskDutton #auspol

Always a good day when a new honest Government ad drops. And it just did #auspol >> - youtu.be/-xUFUXMiaDs?...

Canadians are boycotting US goods so hard, proceed can’t even give them away www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6hY...

Norm Eisen @normeisen.bsky.social of CREW @crew.bsky.social and Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social of @democracydocket.com are real American heroes!! These guys are among a diminishing group of lawyers who aren’t afraid of tRvmp and his 🤡 🚘, weaponized DOJ! 🧵 youtu.be/RORpqUNambM?...

Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; they’re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canada’s sovereignty and economy and they’re all justifiably furious

First they came for .... The media, including international, needs to collaborate and 'nip this in the bud' before it's too late.
